Have you got "baby" friends you've nothing in common with?

[halloweenhorror]

We moved to this area when I was pregnant with dd1 and I joined a baby group to meet people. I've kept in touch with these mums and we've all had second or third babies by now. But I'm now realising I've got nothing in common with most of these girls, they are all SAHM's and have no intention of working (financially they don't have to)or doing anything new once their youngest kids go to school. Whereas I've always worked p/t as we desperatley need the money. I find it really hard to meet new mums as I work p/t from home and so don't get out and mix.

Anyone else like this?

I have several baby friends that I met through ante-natal classes. I don't have anything in common with them other than the babies the conversation rarely strays from babies and moaning about our dhs, mils etc.

I've gone back to work full time for financial reasons. One of them is staying at home as her job doesn't pay enough to cover nursery fees and she's lucky enough that her husband earns enough to cover the bills. The others are all going back to work part time and all have the same day off in the week so they can still see each other.

I feel very left out now as I have to take a day's holiday from work to see them (about once a month) and I don't feel part of the group any more. They all arrange to do things with each other and I can't go because I'm at work. I still want to keep seeing them though as it's nice to have friends with babies the same age and I want dd to grow up with other kids her age. I'll probably lose touch as they grow up and go to playschool/school but I find it useful for the time being. They're not really the sort of people I would normally make friends with but I was never very good at the 'girly' thing and so have very little to talk about that doesn't involve babies.
